Shake it up

Best friends forever, 'CeCe' Jones and Raquel 'Rocky' Blue, have dreamed about becoming professional dancers ever since they were little girls. Their big break finally comes when they get a gig as background dancers on a local TV dance show called Shake it Up, Chicago.

Rocky

CeCe

Cool and connected, Deuce is Rocky and CeCe's street-smart buddy who makes a point of being in the know about everything.

Zendaya tells us what her name means

‘Zendaya means ‘to give thanks’ in Swahili,’ Zendaya told us. ‘My dad is African-American so he’s really in touch with his African roots. That’s why he gave me the name Zendaya. However, I’m not from Africa. I’m actually from Oakland in California – but I now live in Los Angeles.’
